One of the prettiest and most impressive wedding ceremonies that ever has THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, PHOENIX, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1921 . 7(in BUSINESS LUUH IMPERILED BY RATE OF CASA GRANDE WED Every wholesaler and Jobber ,in Arizona stands in imminent peril 'of ing forced out of business, all Ari cona business will be made sub servient to pacific coast houses, and s a result the ultimate consumer aill stand more for the common ne cessities of life, although the cost of uvm is being lowered elsewhere. .This is the view taken by the Ari Jrona corporation commission on the latest attempt of the transcontinental railroads to adjust freight rates In such a manner as to make serious Inroads on the Jobbing business of the Intermountain region. Formal application has been filed by the roads with the interstate commerce commission seeking sweeping reduc tions from all eastern, southern and mid-western points to Pacific coast terminals. The Arizona commission has no objection to the rail lines reducing rates but In common with the regu latory bodies of all western Inter mountain tsates it Is 'prepared te raise strenuous objections unless proportionate reductions are made to points in these states. Acting with the traffic bureau of the Phoenix chamber of commerce, the commission has asked the Inter state commerce commission permis sion to be heard before the proposed rates are granted. The proposed tar iffs Include a large number of the more common household commodi ties as well as a number of items used in the construction of buildings, bridges and highways. The matter came up at a meeting of the Intermediate rate association which met at Salt Lake City last June, which meeting was attended by Amos A. Bctts of the corporation commission and Roland Johnston, manager of the traffic bureau of the chamber of commerce. This associa tion is made up of 104 civic, com mercial and industrial bureaus and regulatory bodies of Montana, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, as well aa eastern Washington and Oregon and southeastern California. At thai, time It was learned that the transcontinental lines were pre paring to petition the interstate com-v merce commission under the fourth section of the transportation act, which provides under what circum stances through' rates may be made lower than those to intermediate points. The association framed a strong protest at that time and asked permission to be heard before tha proposed rates were established. How selously he proposed rates would affect Arizona is seen from a few examples. From New York and adjacent territory j canned goods would be shipped to San Pedro for $1.30. while the rate to Phoenix would be as now. $1.83. It might be argued that with so low a through rate goods could be shipped back to Arizona points and In that way a saving made over the rate from the east direct, but this Is not true. In only one instance is the combined rate less than the direct rate. On drugs and medicines the coast points would enjoy a rate of $12.60, while Phoenix would be compelled to pay $3.08. Drygoods could be shipped to the Pacific coast for $1.80, while the rate to Phoenix and other Arizona points would be $2.08. iXne of the greatest, discrepancies is that which appears in the rates on structural steel, band, bar and hoop iron, horse shoes and similar com moditles. The rate to the coast from New York would be $1 and to Phoe nix $1.83. Roland Johnston, manager of the traffic bureau of the Phoenix cham her of commerce, has sent a copy of the railroads' application to every commercial body In the state, as well as to the jobbers and wholesalers and to the farmer-producers, together with a letter pointing out the se riousness of the situation and urg ing full and effective co-operation from all Arizona shippers. , o - .

EVV BOOKS ADDED Our Friday and Saturday Offeri ngs Hit Many Exceptional Values For The Cotton Jump! The indicated cotton crop as reported by the Government on Sept. 1st, this year,, was 7,037,000- bales, against 13,439,604 bales on the same date a year ago. The condition of the crop on August 1st, 1921, was 64.7 per cent and on Sept. 1st, 1921, was 49.3 per cent. Private advices since then indicate a further deterioration of crops. , , Some staple cotton goods such as mus-j lins, which consist principally of the raw material have advanced 50 per cent, which, means that sooner or later the Jump in the short staple market must have its ef fect on the long staple market, and it is our prediction that within 60 ta 90 days, long staple cotton will be selling on a profitable basis to the farmer of the Salt River Valley. This store's connection in the buying market and its association with one of the largest New York buying Syndicates, has always tried ,to keep the public posted, and you will recall that during the days of retrenchment we did not urge people to buy, nor are we doing so now, in spite of the fact that there is a rather sensational rise in raw cotton. But In all fairness to you, we do say, take care of your Immediate needs, as merchandise positively will not be any cheaper. CHAS. KORRICK & BRO.
